probably is like 80-90 %
possibly could be 60-70%
maybe is like 50%

These are not exact percentages, but this is the general idea of what the words mean.

Probably is the highest. It means that there is probable cause for an event to occur. Possibly is next because something could happen, there is that possibility. Maybe is last because it is by chance or controlled depending on whether a person or the situation dictates that it will. All are indefinite %'s though. There is no sure thing with those words.

There's not an exact set percentage for them. Probably would be the highest at over 50% because it means it is more than likely going to happen. Possibly and maybe would mean about the same thing and be around 50% I would think.

Probably is closest to sure. Possibly and maybe are about equal. They're maybe at about 50% whilst Probably is more than 50% but not 100%.

I would say probably. Probably tells me that more than likely they will be going to the game. Possibly and maybe tell me that they probably won't.

Probably 90%
Possibly 75%
Maybe 60%

possibly=is there even a chance?
maybe=unsure of whether it will occur--but it has been considered and there is a chance.
probably= likely to happen--75%
